Djo - Basic Being Basic

Get food, barely eat
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
I worried, even cried
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Bad habit, even worse
50-50, I'm a sucker for looks
Asked for it, here it is
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

I think you're scared of bein' basic
That's ironic 'cause it's like reading like you're even more basic
It's not funny, it's so funny
'Cause you're basic
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
Nothingness won't change it
(Good luck with that)
(Good luck with what?)
It's not funny, but it's so funny

I don't want your money, I don't care for fame
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that

It sent me reeling, still not the same
It's like my capacity to love and give has changed
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
The past's the past, and I'll outlast
The hate to find real love that's not pretend

How basic (sell me on it)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
That's basic
It's not funny, it's so funny
That's just basic being basic (basically)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
I guess I'll take it
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny

Change your body, change your face
Curl your hair, then make it straight
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
It's a flash photograph

What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic)
What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic)
What an empty epitaph (that's just basic being basic)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
If that's funny, I'm not funny
